Best endings to game?

infamous doesn't have the best ending of all time IMO but it's one of the few games I've played where a twist is foreshadowed the entire game without becoming totally obvious - and it pays off superbly as a result
 
Earthbound and Mother 3.

Earthbound:
The Final Boss is brilliant and afterwards you have to go to your house to get the credits rolling, but before that you can go around the world talking with every character and they all have something to say, it's amazing. Small details like getting a phone call from your dad if you didn't pay someone back also makes it even more awesome.

Mother 3:
The Claus boss fight had me in tears, afterwards having all the characters talking to the player and taking the door knob with you was so touching.


There's more stuff like 999, MGS3, Portal 2, Persona 3, Nier, and To The Moon.
 
Mass effect 1. I ve come to be indifferent to bioware and worse but still mass effect 1 last couple of hours are unbeatable for me. Fantastic pacing and generally an awe inspiring end to a great game.
 
Chrono Trigger - Developer's Ending

Earthbound - Being able to go back through and talk to everyone, with many different comments and such



More games really need to have interactive endings like these.
 
FF7: Crisis Core

The whole game was pretty mediocre and then that ending comes and ends up being the only game I've ever shed tears over. The way it used the gameplay systems to highlight what was happening was brilliant, my body was not ready.
 
In no particular order:

Bioshock 2
Bioshock Infinite
Mass Effect 2
The last of Us
Eternal Darkness
Dead Space
Journey
FFX

My all-time favourite is Ocarina of Time though, nothing else even comes close
 
satisfying endings worth the full price it was released on

Bioshock Infinite
Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater
Infamous
Shadow of the Colossus
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
 
Persona 4's ending makes you wish you could forget the entire game just to replay it fresh all over again.
 
Persona 3:FES, The Last of Us, and Red Dead Redemption have some of the best endings in a video game.

Edit: Metal Gear Solid 3 had a great ending, that salute, tears, just manly tears. I wan't to praise MGS4 for closing up all of the MGS series insanity with its all too tidy ending.
 
Wonderful 101 has the best endgame of anything I've ever played.

Final Fantasy VI has the best ending of anything I've ever played.

The first Dead Space is incredibly similar in this regard. It's evident on a second playthrough that the game drops so many obvious hints at the twist(hell, it even literally spells it out), but you're still not expecting it.

As far as I'm concerned, the ending made the whole game worth it. Really good stuff and affected me emotionally in a way few other games have.
 
Mass Effect 3...so varied, such wow, so amaze.

I keed I keed. j/k.

My favorites would have to be


Majora's Mask - I loved seeing how
everything finally plays out for everyone, bitter or sweet.
Mass Effect - That ending few hours was amazing, and the credits song... Perfect.
Deadly Premonition - WOW what a roller coaster of a crazy, sad, wonderful ending.
Persona 4 - It really leaves you with a nostalgic feeling quite similar to that of a great school summer break or something. Amazing cast with a great sendoff.
Silent Hill 2 - I don't feel I need to say anything. Probably the greatest ending to a video game story. All of them.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories - This was one heck of a great ending, and the
UFO one
seals the deal.
killer7 - Travis, you can speak sweet nothings in my ears all night long. What a badass, crazy, everything-on-its-head ending.
Alpha Protocol - It might not be something spectacular, but holy cow was it satisfying how all of your choices manifest at the end with a solid spy-ending.
The Witcher -
But that sword is for monsters...
Stupendous. I need to replay it soon...

Darksiders
Shadow of the Colossus
Dark Souls

really? That was one of the shortest, most abrupt ending ever, and I didn't even understand what was going on or the significance of it until reading up explanations online.

Afterwards i kindof liked what they did, but still I'd hardly call it one of the best endings ever. especially after a 60 hour struggle
 
The Witcher is the first one that comes to mind for me. 6 years later and some people still don't get the ending. Not cause it was confusing, but because they had some respect for the audience and didn't spoon feed them everything. But some people desperately want to be spoon fed.
 
Final Fantasy XIII-2.

The ending is emotional and I am happy with it. Best boss fight. My only complaint is that it should have been harder. Perfect boss music.
 
Darksiders. The way
you see the other three horsemen coming to join War, I swear that shit was epiccc
. Every time I see it, goosebumps guaranteed
